--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

The bible says, “It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” 

The leader must schedule his rest very carefully. The Sabbath is not about rest from work alone, but rest from distractions. Rest and refreshing are side benefits not the purpose of the Sabbath. The leader must get this clear. The Sabbath is to be at rest from every other legitimate issue to focus on God for worship. Out of this comes your authenticity in spiritual leadership. It is not a day to stay home and watch TV, but a day to stay off work to stay on God. 
The leaders’ true rest and refreshing comes from God. Rest here doesn’t primarily mean sleep and idling away your time. Spiritual work demands spiritual rest and refreshing. If you have preached the gospel for the past 5 days travelling great distances and on the sixth day you need some rest, you need to rest with spiritual activities like praying in the Holy Ghost and worship. That wayyour spirit will be re-energized to bounce back with vigour. 
Every spiritual leader needs to live life with the principle of One. This principle requires that you spend:
•One hour in the presence of God every day 
•One day in the presence of God every week i.e. at least 3 uninterrupted hours alone with God. 
•One weekend closeting yourself with God every month i.e. from Friday to Sunday when you go to church.

PRAYER: Lord, I pray for peace, rest, quietness and still waters around me. I receive rest all around me in Jesus’ name. Amen!
